CHAPTER 1174: CHAPTER 1174: THE HAN FAMILY’S DECISION

"Senior Xiao Ce?"

"Where is he?"

Zhou Yu was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

Jiang Dongcheng shrugged, then took out his phone.

"Old Pavilion Master Xiao, I’ll hand the phone to Zhou Yu now."

After speaking, he handed the phone to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu looked speechless.

He thought Xiao Ce himself had come.

After Zhou Yu took the phone, Jiang Dongcheng left with his daughter and Uncle Wang.

Zhou Yu picked up the phone and said:

"Pavilion Master, hello, this is Zhou Yu."

"Haha, Zhou Yu, I’ve heard about what you did at the Gong Family."

"Well done."

"Tell me, how did you do it?"

"Based on my previous understanding of you, although your strength was decent, it shouldn’t have been enough to defeat those four little ones."

Zhou Yu didn’t hide it and briefly explained how he absorbed the Spiritual Energy from the Yellow Heavenly Spirit Disc, breaking through to the Late Saint Realm.

After listening, Xiao Ce also showed a look of surprise.

"Qi Refinement Path, Late Saint Realm, Red Gold True Qi."

"Good kid, you’re quite bold, but also lucky."

"The Qi Refinement Path is inherently strong, and with your Red Gold True Qi perfected, it seems that you’re invincible below the King Realm."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

"Thank you for the praise, Pavilion Master."

Xiao Ce smiled lightly.

"Don’t get too complacent, kid."

"Even though your current strength is formidable, it doesn’t mean there’s absolutely no danger."

"In Hu City, there are many who could take your life."

"Even though I intervened today, deterring a large batch, there will still be those who take risks."

"When you handle matters, be smarter."

"Don’t... follow in his footsteps..."

At this point, Xiao Ce’s tone seemed to suddenly become somewhat sorrowful.

Zhou Yu was taken aback.

"Who... is he?"

Xiao Ce was silent for a moment before he said:

"My only grandson."

"What... happened to him?"

"Back then, he proposed to go to Hu City to restore the prestige of the Hu City Martial Pavilion, but he was assassinated..."

"Forget it, let’s not mention the past."

"Zhou Yu, remember, be cautious in everything, I’ll send someone to assist you later."

"That’s it."

With that, Xiao Ce hung up the phone directly.

Zhou Yu could tell that Xiao Ce’s mood was not very high, so he didn’t ask more.

On the other end of the phone.

Xiao Ce was on his way back to the Capital City.

After hanging up the phone, he looked out of the window.

"That old fellow has been dormant for so many years; I thought he had faded from this world. Who would have thought he quietly cultivated such a heaven-defying disciple? Hehe, now things are getting interesting..."

...

Han Family.

For the Yellow Heavenly Spirit Disc, the Han Family paid a huge price and planned for a long time, only to end up with their number one genius, Han Minghao, returning with a broken hand.

Han Minghao’s father, Han Jiantu, looked on grimly as the family doctor treated Han Minghao’s wound.

His eyes were filled with rage.

He was filled with hatred towards Zhou Yu in his heart.

At the same time, there was shock.

Zhou Yu’s growth was too rapid.

It had only been a little over a month since he arrived in Hu City and took the position of Hu City Martial Pavilion Minister.

He had already grown to such a level.

Now, Zhou Yu could no longer be dealt with by Saint Realm experts.

After this incident, Han Jiantu deeply realized that to deal with Zhou Yu, they must use King Realm-level experts.

Moreover, it had to be fast.

Because according to Zhou Yu’s growth rate, if three to five months passed and he broke through again, even King Realm experts might not be able to do anything to him.

If it really came to that, the grievances the Han Family had with the Martial Pavilion over these years would be enough for Zhou Yu to obliterate them three to five times over.

Han Jiantu called Uncle Li over.

His eyes flickered with astonishing killing intent as he spoke.

"If the family deploys King Realm Martial Artists, can you ensure a one-hit kill?"

When Uncle Li heard this, he was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

Han Jiantu’s expression darkened.

"What do you mean?"

"Even King Realm Martial Artists can’t get rid of him?"

Uncle Li said with an ugly expression:

"One King Realm Martial Artist definitely won’t be enough."

"At least two are needed."

"Only then can you ensure a one-hit kill."

Han Jiantu’s body trembled.

"Two King Realm Martial Artists to deal with a Saint Realm kid?"

Uncle Li nodded with difficulty.

"Although it sounds exaggerated."

"But according to my understanding of Zhou Yu, this must be done."

Hearing this, Han Jiantu’s face became extremely grim.

It’s important to know that King Realm Martial Artists are the top forces in the Dragon Country Martial Arts World. Their numbers are few, and they are often tightly controlled.

Secretly deploying one might be possible, but deploying two would surely attract a lot of attention.

Moreover, they had just allied with the four major forces and deployed more than a dozen Martial Kings to deal with Xiao Ce; this moment was precisely when they were in the spotlight...

Seeing Han Jiantu’s expression so grim, Uncle Li hesitated and said:

"Family Head, if we really want to eliminate Zhou Yu, it definitely can’t be done by our family alone."

"Perhaps we can join forces with the Zhu Family, Ao Family, and others because, after all, they also suffered losses at the hands of Zhou Yu this time..."

Hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Han Jiantu’s eyes.

"You reminded me."

"These two families are probably also thinking of getting rid of Zhou Yu by now..."

A sinister gleam flashed in Han Jiantu’s eyes.
